You'd only lose the assigned weight values, and only until you reenabled the weight setting (which would probably cause your WoW to hang again).

Unfortunately, until I get the new version out (which is weeks at best), there probably won't be a good way to deal with this.

Ok. If it gets irritating I will disable it. Since things only hang when I try to go in to modify these settings, it's not an overal/global problem. Good luck and happy coding!

Weighted mode's configuration is pretty slow, unfortunately.

You could try turning it off like this:
/run PetLeash.db.profile.weightedPets = false

and then seeing if you can get in the options.

I am working a completely overhaul of the configuration system that greatly improves this, but it's not yet complete.

The only option I can't get into is the screen called "Enabled Pets" in the Game Menu > Interface > Addons > Petleash section. I'd rather not lose what I did configure; at least one toon is working properly. What does confuse me is that that toon's configuration should be part of the 'default' profile, but other toons set to the default profile aren't seeing the same behavior. I don't know if this is reasonable - if I have to go in and set each toon to 'default' specifically before it works - or if I've done something else wrong.

Just a note that I am still having the problem where, when I try to go to the 'enable pets' interface, my wow hangs and eventually disconnects from the server.

Odd. Do you know if you might be using the weighted option?

if you mean, where I went in and marked each pet to be used sometimes/always/never (it was more choices, but that's the basic concept) - yes, I did that. IIRC I had about 2 weeks where it was laggy, but I *could* go in and adjust things, and then it started lagging out again. I had set it so that the pets I'd named - one of each one i had - were set to come out mostly sometimes, but some more often, and the ones I hadn't named were set to never.

Since 5.2, the toon I was logged in to when I made those settings still has the named ones coming out. Other toons, however, have un-named ones. I went in to check the profiles, and all the ones I checked were set to 'default', including the one that's working fine. Unfortunately, I can't go check the settings on the pets themselves - that's what lags me out.

Thank you for looking into things. I've been considering looking at the code files to see if I could figure out how to edit the files to force what I want to happen, but I'm hesitant to do so, if only due to generic fumble-fingeredness.

I really want to use this addon, as it does pretty much exactly what I want it to without being bundled with anything else. (like a few that are both pets and mounts, or pets mounts and titles, or pets and albatrosses I mean achievements, or ....)

I'd be happy to be selling off my excess pets, but I don't have storage room to do more than a few at a time, and I currently have a set of 5 going through the AH till they sell...

... slidebar issue...

Does it make more sense for me to report it, or you, as developer/user? I've already got an account over on their forums as I was poking them about various things, and the slidebar is one of the thing I wanted to poke them about as the config screen stopped being functional, but it was low on the totem pole of 'things not working' so I hadn't yet.

You can report it if you want. I don't think I have any regular contact with the Auctioneer guys.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling any fix they do is going to have to be somewhat "magical" in detecting open dropdowns.

The library I am using... (PetLeash)

Barleduq — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:28:39 +0000

The library I am using has a hard time dealing with that many different controls. I improved that screen by changing the control type so that one control actually handles all the pet selection check boxes, but it still needs work. At this point, my current plan is to completely reimplement the pet selection process, but that'll take more time.

I figured that the sheer quantity may be part of the problem. But I also know of people who have even more pets, and any collector who was getting things on multiple toons before the account-wide stuff went into affect is going to have the same problems. If it was *just* me I'd grin and bear it, but i figure that I'm helping, somehow, here....

Thank you, very much, for your quick feedback and resolution! I *really* like this addon - among other things, it made another one (Critter Emote, unfortunately only on Curse, makes the deployed pet emote things) functional again! Before I was getting errors that it couldn't find the pet, and now it can.

Now that I've checked the Slidebar issue and have seen it for myself, I can say it looks like it is a Slidebar issue. It looks like Slidebar doesn't really know how to deal with an LDB launcher that opens a user interactive menu.

tl;dr - I have 530+ pets, and one of each type has been renamed. To what extent are the lag problems I'm seeing due to either/both of these factors?

Verbose version:

This update made it possible to use the addon again! I'm not sure if it was that I'd gone over some magic amount of pets, but where before it would freeze wow for a while but come back, it had gotten to the point where if I tried to even access the Enable Pets screen of the config, I would get completely logged out of WoW, down to the splash 'input your password here' screen.

I downloaded the addon and pulled up the button on the Norganna Slidebar. That had an indexed list of my pets, and again, when I moved the mouse down into that list window, the slidebar went back into the side of my window and moved the list with it, making it impossible to use. That hasn't changed, and I'm not sure who to comment to about that, you or the Norganna folks.

I went into the Game Menu / Interface / Addons config window, and clicked open Pet Leash, and then Enable Pets and.... waited. But it did come up without logging me out (tho I got disconnected and reconnected messages in chat). I'm glad to see that everything that I hadn't touched before was now set to Never! Both that it was set to never, and that the ones I *had* changed were not changed from my settings.

Clicking on the down-arrow to access the settings came up right away, but changing the setting took 5-6 seconds of freeze (as detected by motion visible in the translucent screen and music suddenly going silent). Again, it didn't disconnect me in any way, so this *is* an improvement.

Due to having 10 toons before (and making an 11th when MoP came out), I have up to 10 duplicates of the easily available pets (not to mention the unusable horde versions of e.g. the balloon and the moonkin hatchling). ! started MoP with 490+ and am now up to 532 (having removed one last night to put on the AH). Is 532/533 somehow some magic timing/breakpoint, where last night (before the update) I was getting logged out completely when I tried to access, whereas today (at 532) I'm not? It's something to think about - I know enough about coding and compsci theory to know it can make a difference, and not enough to figure it out. :) Also, I have one (and sometimes two) of each pet renamed so I can distinguish the ones I am using in a team, and also to have an easy way to choose which to have petleash use for deployment. :) Could having so many renamed be causing any issues for your code?

Thank you for the update!

I definitely need to redesign the weighted config, and I suppose even the normal config is a bit slow too.

PetLeash froze WoW. o.O (PetLeash)

Barleduq — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 14:11:37 +0000

I was flying from Dalaran to Fizzcrank Airstrip in Borean Tundra. I was looking around at things to do in that three minutes, and saw that I hadn't done anything with setting up prefs for PetLeash. First, I noticed it in the slidebar, and tried to poke it there - but when the mouse came off the slidebar to choose something in the list, the slidebar went back and the panes with the choices went with it, effectively making it impossible to do anything there. (Not sure if that should be a complaint against teh slidebar or what...)

So then I opened the config by clicking on the icon in slidebar, and opened up the pane (I can't remember the name?) that includes the checkbox for 'Weighted Pets'. I clicked that checkbox, and WoW froze. After a minute or two, I came here and started typing. It has since unfrozen, reloaded the ui twice, and logged me out to the initial game launch screen, all without my touching it.

Yay, computers are fun! :/

ETA: I logged back in, and tried again, disabling one addon I had that I thought had been lagging me before. I used control-click on the slidebar icon, hit the + next to the PetLeash name, clicked on "Enabled Pets" and it froze again, right there. It did finally wake up again, and showed me the pane to weight the pets with. Not sure what's happening here, but if it does this persistently it's not a good thing.

Son of ETA: Clicking on the arrow of any of the dropdown boxes causes 1-2 seconds of freeze. Clicking on any of the choices causes 5-10 seconds of freeze. Note: I have over 500 pets, due to having 10 toons on the server and having gotten pets for all to have the same one, so I have LOTS of duplicates. I'm ONLY clicking on one of each. Also, clicking on either of the scrollbar arrows causes more than 1 page of scroll.

Sure, I'll see what I can do. (PetLeash)

Karzanus — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:54:28 +0000

A suggestion for future releases: now that lots of people (read: me) have lots of pets and are catching new pets at a faster rate than before, would it be possible to alter the weighted scale so that the user can dictate what the default weight is? Currently you can only toggle it to "often" or "never" and even if you toggle it to "never," new pets still enter the petleash weighted scale as "often".

Personally, for example, i would prefer to be able to make most of my pets "hardly ever" on the weighted scale so that they all still come out, but the few that i choose come out most often. It would be optimal if i could change my default to "hardly ever" so that, A.) they would all change to that setting without me having to change all two hundred of them individually, manually by hand, and 2.) i don't have to fish through my huge list of pets to change it to that every time i catch a new one.

Anyways, just a thought.
